The team is debriefed by the case officer in charge of Deeks' undercover operation, Det. Traynor. She tells them that Deeks' infiltrated a local street gang whose leader, Emilio had ties to Lazik, a Serbian national who runs an international human trafficking ring.
Our clinical trials program studies are primarily focused on vaccine development in concert with pharmaceutical and biotechnical companies to evaluate new vaccines. The goal is to test a vaccines therapy and its safety and efficacy on human clinical trial subjects before gaining FDA approval.
Clearly, everyone's priorities are in the right place so let us do homage to the work that went into creating and crafting this season's fanged, taloned, and venomed horrors by profiling each, and doing a bit of a dive into their mythological and/or folkloric origins. It will come as no surprise to those of you who have read Andrzej Sapkowski's short stories and novels that many of the monsters his universe spawned are deeply rooted in humanity's elder blood (see what I did there). While some barely have their primal serial numbers filed off and others are almost unrecognizable but for the names they share with their progenitors, they all come from the well of our deepest fears, aspirations, and, let's be honest, probably some dreams altered by funky mushrooms.
Highly intelligent, polymorphic, iron resistant hunters, the leshen who haunt The Continent's forests hang around waiting to slaughter humans who dare enter their domain. Though they do have a wildcat/bear form, they're most often seen in human suits or as human-tree hybrids. They can use their roots as lashes or restraints, command nearby animals and plants, and can vanish temporarily to confound those who invade their space for nefarious purposes. These things really dislike witchers.
Slavic folklore paints a very different picture of the leshy; while he can be aggressive given certain circumstances, he's primarily a mischievous trickster and sometimes, a trusted friend to whom the countryfolk sent their children to be educated. It's unclear if the leshy is a god, a demon, or a tree spirit (and it's possible he's been all three at various times, folklore is nothing if not flexible) who's rarely seen but often heard laughing, whistling, and singing in the forests of Easten Europe and Russia. His feast day is still celebrated on September 27th. Also called, \"The Old Man of the Forest,\" a leshy in human form is covered in green fur minus eyebrows, eyelashes, and right ears. They have pointy heads, skin like tree bark, an aversion to belts and hats, and thinks the height of comedy is wearing his shoes on the wrong foot. \"As large as a mountain\" or \"as small as a blade of grass,\" depending on his mood, the leshy casts no shadow at any size. Should you happen to irk him, you have but to make him laugh by putting your shoes on the wrong foot or putting your clothes on backwards. You can also try praying or salting your fire but those don't seem nearly as much fun as leading with your butt.
Murphy, meanwhile, strips of his decaying skin and now has a rather shiny silver color. He also has his own posse of zombies and they've all gone looting clothing at a thrift store when he runs afoul of a survivor who wants to take him in for the bounty. The plan goes awry, though, when Cassandra appears and impales him. Cassandra appears to be a half zombie half human, like Murphy.
The team gets roped into helping harvest the rest of the seedpods in order to make more of the herbal zombie vaccine. They trade in their guns for garden tools as defence for the phytos and head into the greenhouse, where they encounter the terrifying phytozombie leader, all green, shaggy, covered in vines and powerfully psychically connected to Murphy. Murphy flees and runs into Dr. Kurian, who tells him that the only hope the world has left is people like Murphy: half human/half zombies.
Escorpion is in charge of a cartel known as the Zeroes (which explains the 'Z' tattoo on his hand). When the lab doctor protests his order to shut down all Batch 47 experiments, Hector suddenly insists on human trials and shoots the resulting \"alive zombie\" in the face. When Murphy tries to free all the phytozombies in the Giant Shop of Horrors, they suddenly come after him and the team has to fight for their lives. When they end up killing the phytozombie leader, Murphy is bereft. Finally, Doc finds the little girl and her not-mother in the barn and hands over the Batch 47 leaves, which the little girl chews on before she dies.
Sketchy and Skeezy come across a dentist's truck and drive it to a nearby town. The truck is part of an organized scam to traffic humans, kill them, turn them into zombies and use them as slave labor in a town run by a guy named Tyler Burr, who's basically a dandy in a televangelist suit. Sketchy, Skeezy and 10K are all welcomed into the fold because the truck had zombies in it.Murphy is still pretty angry over Cassandra being killed, and the team is starting to disagree over the idea that the mission is to get Murphy to California and everything that stands in the way is expendable.
When Murphy tries to escape again, Dean shows his even crazier side, brutally electrocuting his guest as 10K shows up asking if Dean has seen \"a blue guy.\" 10K sees through Dean's ruse and sneaks into the zombie museum, where he's captured and Dean decides that he wants to see what happens when Murphy bites a human: namely, 10K.
Bernadette claims the \"visitors\" have told her that a group will arrive and bring with them \"the Emissary\", the ambassador of humankind to the aliens, aka Murphy. The team is understandably skeptical and so is one of the extranauts named Dan Scully, who tells them that the zombie apocalypse was actually instigated by aliens who live in the hollowed-out spaceship we know of as Pluto. He also tells them not to believe anything Bernadette says.
Murphy has a very hard time with seeing his own \"tribe\" fall to their deaths and Roberta and Vasquez have to restrain him. Roberta provides some tough love and tells Murphy that the time is coming when he has to decide which side of the humans vs. zombies battle he's on and, while he's deciding, he should remember which side is trying to keep him alive and which side is trying to eat his brain.Roberta wipes a tear from Murphy's face and the team is off again.
Then there's an '80s makeover montage where everyone looks spectacular in new clothes and makeup and Doc gets his beard put up into pin-curlers. Meanwhile, Kurian is testing the vaccine with human subjects, which is producing half-zombie Cassandra types that follow Murphy's movements to a T. Roberta confronts Murphy as everyone is making an offering to the Man Whose Blood Saved Humanity, demanding to know exactly what it is that Murphy has promised Kurian. Murphy plays innocent, but let's be honest, the thing about Murphy is that he will always be out for himself. Roberta also tells Vasquez that she's cool with him killing Escorpion but to wait until they have a real plan.
Meanwhile, back in the present, Citizen Z is tracing the hackers and discovers they've been tracking Operation Bitemark all along. When he realizes that he may be leading a potential threat to Murphy, he destroys his servers. Murphy himself is growing increasingly worried about what's going to happen at the CDC, which prompts his own dark Day One flashback. Murphy was in prison (for postal fraud), where a jailyard murder went awry after the inmates began turning Z. It was every man for himself as Murphy managed to escape and lock the gate so that others couldn't get out, including those who hadn't been turned. It's a pretty awful thing to do, so maybe he's indeed looking to redeem himself as what Roberta calls the \"hope for humanity\". 59ce067264
